Havdalah during the 9 Days

What is the procedure for havdala after Shabbat that falls during the 9 days, since it is forbidden to drink wine during those days?

Wine from havdala at the end of the Shabbat that falls during the first nine days of the month of Av may be given to a minor who has not yet reached the ‘age of education.’
